Maurio Pochettino: Tottenham not ready to be trophy contenders

"I've not changed my feeling from one or two months ago".

Spurs lost 2-1 at the hands of Jurgen Klopp's side but in truth the score could have been a lot less flattering on the home side.

'I am sure he is surprised, ' said the former Liverpool midfielder. That's no problem. I only say it is still early, five games, fantastic we won all the game.

In the time since Liverpool's 4-1 defeat at Tottenham in October past year, they have had the best defensive record in the Premier League, having kept more clean sheets than any other team, but they were denied another in stoppage time by Erik Lamela.

The 26-year-old was helped down the tunnel and is now a doubt for Liverpool's opening Champions League group stage match against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.

"I have no clue what exactly happened, but it's something with the eye and, at the moment, it's not comfortable for him".

"He comes from another league, a completely different system which Monaco played, and we have a good team together so that takes time". How do you prepare for a game when you don't focus on it?

"Sometimes we have bad days like against Liverpool but I hope it is only a bad day and on Tuesday we play fantastic".

"Liverpool have a great manager and a great coaching staff, unbelievable players".

Liverpool FC are still looking to win their first trophy since Klopp's appointment at Anfield back in the autumn of 2015.

"They can buy as many players as they want, but we have the same squad and we're going to go for it".

Liverpool wasted chances to find a third goal and endured a nervy finish after Lamela scored in stoppage time but they saw out the victory that keeps them ahead of the chasing pack. "All I can say is we will try all we can to be as good as possible".

Mohamed Salah is bullish about Liverpool's chances in the Champions League this season and has backed his team to go all the way to the final again and win this time around.

"We maybe have an injury with Roberto, something with his eye we'll see".

"I think Tottenham should have probably have signed more players in the summer".
